Squirrels are “tree rats.” Raccoons are “trash pandas.”
While we do have ‘tree rats’ in AB, we don’t have the real thing. Rats can’t make it over the Rockie Miuntains from BC and we have a ‘Rat Patrol’ that protects the borders on the South and East. Their hob is to kill any rat that is reported or found.
On a totally unrelated note, somehow Justin True-dope, the Prime Mistake of Kanadahar still makes it to the Stampede every year. ;>\
Aaaah, great clarification. ‘Trash Pandas’. I love it!
There’s a new minor league ball team called the Rocket City Trash Pandas.....LOL!
What’s the correct term for the Odocoileus Virginianus that has overrun us?
